LET S MOVIE BRAND MATRIX Brand Strategy Break Structure Visual Branding LET S BE BALANCED Empower viewers to experience the brand on their terms with balanced attention to: - Core fans & potential fans Make every brand touch-point equally important and available: TV, mobile, web & social. Strive to balance opposing types of elements (brand vs promo), messages (commerce vs. content) and audience (core & potential fans) to create texture within breaks. Balance short, medium and long durations within a break to keep viewers engaged. Balance customized element design with a branded look that instantly and clearly guides viewers. Strike the right balance of Let s Movie elements across the brand in order to permeate, not irritate. LET S BE CONNECTED Invite viewers to participate in the brand promise: Let s Movie. Connect movies to each other. Connect platforms to each other. Connect TCM with fans and fans with TCM. Connect good content on the network to deeper engagement on other platforms. Connect what s on next to what s on later or elsewhere. Connect the tagline or Let s language to all promo, brand and content elements. Create elements connecting one platform to another. LET S BE RELEVANT Give classic movies new TCM relevance by using them to champion the network and guide viewers. Inspire commerce & tune-in with relevant content. Inspire fan dialogue with relevant content. Inspire content with relevant fan dialogue. Give classic movie moments new context and relevance using ownable Let s language graphically and/or verbally.

OVERVIEW NEW BRAND BOX DEVICE The Brand Box is a device derived from the Tagline Lock-up referenced in the TCM style guide. It is a simple, elegant and functional element that works well with your current graphic look as well as with more custom elements. It uses the box shape around the TCM logo to house the Let s Movie tagline, brand-related Let s copy, as well as certain navigational information. BRAND BOX FLEXIBILITY & ANIMATION The Box will have simple animation options that allow it to rotate to deliver a series of Let s lines or just one. The Box can transition to represent a variety of mediums and platforms such as TV, tablet and phone, as well as, the TCM Watch app and social networks. LOGO LOCK UP To create consistency, always put Turner Classic Movies under the TCM logo. The logo can transition to the tagline within the Brand Box as we do in the image spot or the Brand Box with tagline can transition to the TCM logo. TCM Brand Development 3
